Financial Controller - Amsterdam West, Nederland - The Broker

Beschrijving

_We believe Knowledge Brokering is indispensable for creating a just world. In everything we do, we orchestrate the use of knowledge to ignite, spark and increase a positive impact._


The Challenge
We're a small but growing team of around 15 employees and a flexible shell of expert consultants. The team is managed by the Executive Director and the Managing Knowledge Broker.

Given our size and dynamics, we are now looking for a financial controller who is interested in having a hand in the entire operations of the organisation.

As our financial controller, you would:
- advise the Executive Director on financial and overall strategies;
- optimise Finance & Operations processes, formalise and see to successful implementation and monitoring;
- communicate with the team on project finances;
- manage the day-to-day financial operations and facilitate Management by providing up-to-date information on budget and realisation;
- ensure timely quarterly reports and liquidity statements to the Board;
- be responsible for the annual financial cycle:

• drafting the annual budget;

- annually calculating and setting the organisational day rates (incl. billable/non-billable calculation);
- manage the annual reporting cycle, including the annual financial audit and acting as point of contact for the Accountants;
- be the point of contact for the Treasurer of the Foundation's board;

• In addition to managing the finances and depending on the number of hours you would like to work, you would also oversee the personnel administration (which is handled externally) as well as handle the invoicing process (currently handled by a parttime finance officer).

Who you are
The most important thing is that you are enthusiastic about this job, and love numbers. You must be able to independently manage the annual financial cycle as well as the day-to-day financial administration.

We are not a big organisation, so we are looking for an allrounder, who is willing to combine big-picture strategic thinking with day-to-day administrative tasks.

You have an energetic and proactive attitude and enjoy streamlining processes in a flexible, people-oriented organisation.

You are a financial controller with a background in the nonprofit sector.

We offer this job as a part-time position, but are open to discussing different models and combinations of responsibilities, depending on your current situation.

Perhaps you have a long career in finance behind you and want to make a meaningful contribution to our organisation
- but you don't want or need to work full-time anymore. Or perhaps you are relatively new to the field, and want to learn more about what it is like to work for a nonprofit organisation. Let's discuss the options

To give you a good start, we ask that you have

• At least five years of work experience in a financial (controlling) position
• A degree in finance (e.g. business economics, business administration, accountancy) or demonstrable onthejob training to the same level

- we can support you with further training if required, but we do need someone who can work independently;

• A background in the nonprofit sector, or the ability to demonstrate, during the interview process, a good grasp of the specific challenges a nonprofit organisation faces in terms of its financing;
• A team player, passionate about inclusive, sustainable development, and international cooperation;
• A working knowledge of Exact or comparable software with a willingness to continue learning;
• Fluent in Dutch and English, both spoken and written.

Who we are
Our activities are about optimising the use of knowledge, and especially those types of knowledge often overlooked or unused.

We uncover and deliver it in the right place, in the best form, at the right moment, to empower people that are looking to make an impact for a more sustainable and just world.
